Green For Youth International is proud to share a significant and deeply encouraging moment in our ongoing journey to protect the natural world. Erfan Firouzi has been formally acknowledged by Kensington Palace, receiving a letter written on behalf of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, in recognition of his dedication to biodiversity conservation and environmental action.
The letter, sent in response to Erfan’s correspondence regarding The Earthshot Prize, expresses sincere appreciation for his commitment to safeguarding ecosystems and advancing meaningful change for the planet.
Recognition from The Prince of Wales
In the letter, Kensington Palace conveyed that The Prince of Wales was greatly encouraged to learn of Erfan’s work and dedication to protecting biodiversity and the natural world. His Royal Highness expressed gratitude for the thoughtful efforts being undertaken and for the support shown toward The Earthshot Prize, a global initiative designed to identify and scale solutions to repair and regenerate the planet.
The correspondence emphasized that Erfan’s actions are making a genuine difference, and extended encouragement for him to continue pursuing his studies and environmental endeavours with passion and determination.
This recognition stands as a powerful reminder that committed, values-driven action especially when led by young environmental advocates can resonate at the highest levels and contribute meaningfully to global sustainability efforts.
A Shared Vision for a Living Planet
For Erfan, this acknowledgment reflects more than personal recognition. It reinforces a shared vision: that protecting biodiversity, restoring ecosystems, and respecting planetary limits are essential responsibilities of our time.
The preservation of fragile species, the protection of interconnected ecosystems, and the rethinking of how humans relate to nature are central themes of Erfan’s work as a storyteller, educator, and environmental advocate. His approach emphasizes that biodiversity is not a luxury or decoration but the living infrastructure that sustains climate stability, food systems, water cycles, and human wellbeing.
Every Action Matters
This moment serves as a powerful reminder that every action matters whether large or small in shaping a more sustainable and hopeful future for Earth. From grassroots education and youth engagement to storytelling, research, and conservation advocacy, meaningful change is built through consistency, care, and connection.
Recognition from institutions such as Kensington Palace highlights the growing global acknowledgment that youth-led environmental action is essential, not optional, in addressing the ecological challenges of our time.
Looking Ahead
Encouraged by this recognition, Erfan remains committed to continuing his work in biodiversity conservation, environmental education, and youth empowerment. The journey toward a living, resilient planet is ongoing and moments like these reaffirm the importance of persistence, collaboration, and hope grounded in action.
Green For Youth International extends its gratitude for this acknowledgment and looks forward to continuing its mission of reconnecting people with nature, inspiring stewardship, and supporting solutions that allow both humanity and the natural world to thrive together.
